ELYSIAN MASQARIS CHOKER

The Elysian Masqaris Choker: A Legacy of Venetian Elegance and Egyptian Grace

The Story of “Elysian Masqaris”

Inspired by the allure and mystery of Venetian masks, the “Elysian Masqaris Choker” is a jewelry collection that transcends time and borders, weaving together the rich tapestry of Venetian and Egyptian cultures. This fusion is no mere coincidence; it is a deliberate homage to the historical and artistic connections that have bridged these two worlds through centuries of trade, art, and cultural exchange. Born from a deep appreciation for the opulent details and history of Venetian masks, this collection captures the essence of luxury and seduction that has graced the elite soirées of Italy for centuries and the regal elegance of ancient Egypt.

The Venetian Inspiration

Venetian masks, with their intricate designs and vibrant colors, have always captivated my imagination. The delicate artistry involved in their creation, the mystery of the hidden face, and the seductive energy they exude during private soirées have all inspired me to create a piece that embodies these elements. The masks, often held with the help of a cord, known as a “bacchetta,” allow the wearer to maintain an air of mystique without the mask adhering to their face. This element of discretion and allure is central to the design of “Elysian Masqaris.”

The Egyptian Influence

The fearless and sensual nature of Egyptian women also plays a crucial role in this collection. Drawing inspiration from the legendary beauty and power of Egyptian queens such as Cleopatra and Nefertiti, the collection reflects their strength and elegance. The marquise shape, prominent in Egyptian jewelry, symbolizes both beauty and resilience. Marquise-shaped sunglasses from luxury brands like Cartier further influence the modern twist of this design, merging ancient allure with contemporary fashion.

Historical Fusion of Cultures

Venice and Egypt share a rich history of cultural exchange, particularly during the medieval and Renaissance periods when Venice was a major trading hub. The intricate patterns and exotic materials brought to Venice by Egyptian traders left an indelible mark on Venetian art and architecture. This historical interplay of trade and artistry is mirrored in “Elysian Masqaris,” which harmoniously blends the elaborate detail of Venetian masks with the symbolic power of Egyptian motifs. This cultural fusion is a celebration of the historical confluence that has enriched both civilizations, making this collection a timeless testament to their interconnected legacies.
